It's easy enough to see what has caused Charlie (among others) to leave the
list. The problem is that there is a perpetual debate between two extremes,
and no moderator to say when the debate is over or who has won. Eventually,
people become frustrated with this and leave. If we want the list to heal,
the solution is obvious, we simply have to realize that each of us has our
views, and none of us are going to give in on those views, and simply agree
to disagree and drop the talk about politics.
So, I move to add an amendment to the list policy of "All is Brin". I move
that we amend it to say "All is Brin except politics". If we wish to
discuss the policital systems of Sci-fi Novels, that's fine, but let's keep
real world politics out of the discussion.
All in favor say "Aye".
All opposed say "Nay".
